censorship resistance theory

Censorship resistance theory concerns designing systems—like digital networks or communication platforms—that prevent any single entity, government, or authority from controlling, blocking, or restricting access to information. It aims to ensure that individuals can freely share and receive data without interference or suppression. This often involves decentralization, encryption, and distributed architectures, making it difficult for authorities to censor or shut down the system. Ultimately, censorship resistance promotes free expression and privacy by creating resilient technologies that uphold open access and resist censorship attempts.
